One Room Challenge. One More Time. Half Time.

But life is a tad nutty right now
and I'm going to be out of town 3 or so of the 6 weeks of this ORC
so I'm going to go back and give my first ORC the finishing touches it truly needs.
Is she crazy?? Half the time??
Or maybe you are thinking I'm lame
to go back and tweak a room that has all the hard stuff already done.
But I just love the challenge of the ORC and don't want to miss out!

During my first ORC I underestimated my 5 week time frame,
spent too long mucking the junk out and painting the walls white

to really give it the final zhush it needs.
I talked about being an 85%-er when it comes to the final, final details
and that was so true with this room.
So this is the 'before.'
We are starting where the I left off.

I love this pic from IG which is of the Caspari shop in Charlottesvillle, VA.

So maybe more pillow variety. Looser arrangement?I love the orange chinoiserie on the bed. I love white bedding that I chose previously but this is fun!

And art.I painted a large blue and white vase with coral in it the night before the reveal

(that's how things go sometimes) and it's the only art in there.That's bananas!!I feel like a big fabulous gallery wall around this armoire might be just the thing!Lots of vintage and thrifted bamboo frames would make my day!

I block printed some fabric that became curtains in a #secretproject (still to be revealed)
so I might want to print some to use in this room
(I must remember I only have 3 weeks to pull this off!)
And as always the game plan is more creativity than cash!

So follow along here and on my Instagram and see what I can pull off in my "half the time ORC!"

Thank you Linda for this event and all the inspiration and motivation it creates.

I love this idea! I have a couple rooms from prior ORCs that I never fully finished and keep meaning to complete. It'll be exciting to see this room fully finished and how you've been picturing it. Good luck!
